Background info:
My friend quit his full time to pursue his passion - cooking. After finishing part of his course, he got the chance to cook for us in a restaurant as a debutant chef - which means he decides the menu, how it's going to be cooked, etc.
Admiring his courage and determination, I offered to take pictures of him "backstage" so that hopefully, he can have something to remember later on.
Technical info:
I used a Bessa R + Canon 50 f/1.2 and a Hexar RF + Canon 28 f/2.8 combo. Film used was Neopan 1600 pushed to 3200. The 50 + 28 is a really good combo and now I know why people like to keep to that. Unfortunately, I didn't realise that I didn't half-press enough to lock the exposure on the Hexar, and some shots were wasted.
I also used Stand Development for 1 hour with HC-110.
Solution was 1:125 (mine was lesser because I only had a 1 litre bottle).
Agitate for 1st 40 secs and agitate 3-5 secs at half-hour mark.
Fix 5mins. Initial agitation 1st min and subsequently 15secs for every 1min.
Everything in room temperature.
Merelyok, if you happen to see this thread, thank you very very much in helping me with the timings and answering my questions. Much appreciated. =)
Now, on to the pictures. C&C most welcomed.
